Passage One: From "America" by Claude McKay

"Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, 

And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, 

Stealing my breath of life, I will confess 

I love this cultured hell that tests my youth. 

Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, 

Giving me strength erect against her hate, 

Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood. 

Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state, 

I stand within her walls with not a shred 

Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. 

Darkly I gaze into the days ahead, 

And see her might and granite wonders there, 

Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand, 

Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."

Passage Two: From "Incident" by Countee Cullen

"Now I was eight and very small, 

And he was no whit bigger, 

And so I smiled, but he poked out 

His tongue, and called me, 'Nigger.'

I saw the whole of Baltimore 

From May until December; 

Of all the things that happened there 

That's all that I remember."
